Our vision is to build community, support farmers and entrepreneurs in the North Cariboo and make it easier for you to get a good, sustainably sourced, locally rooted meal on your table. 

Who we are

Long Table Grocery is a locally-owned independent food hub that provides good food, that is sustainably sourced and locally-rooted in the Cariboo region of BC. As well as bi-weekly subscription Harvest Boxes we operate a fresh food grocery and no-waste cafe. We also host cooking workshops and community based food events throughout the year. It is our goal that shopping at Long Table Local is easy, convenient, and a meaningful way to make your purchasing dollars count towards building a more food-secure community for all of us.

We currently work with over 40 North Cariboo farmers and food producers, growing community through food. We purchase local produce and food products when available, and purchase organic produce from the BC and the Pacific Coast during our local off-season. We focus on local organic growers, but also support several more conventional local farms whose practices we know and trust.

We also work with several local charities to improve access to fresh food for local families through our Pay-it-Forward grocery donation program in partnership with our incredible customers.

We acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Lhtako Dené Nation. Long Table Grocery seeks to work in solidarity with Indigenous growers and makers, while respectfully acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of these lands.

I grew up in the Cariboo, on a cattle ranch with entrepreneurial parents who valued community, appreciated nature and produced their own food. As parents ourselves now we are equally passionate about building a healthy future for our daughter, and providing her with an appreciation of local, organic and fair trade food systems. We believe in good food, that is sustainably sourced and locally rooted. Read more...

We are proud to partner with many local food producers and businesses through this venture. We believe in the power of collaboration to build strong community and are continually working to ensure that working with us is a fair and beneficial arrangement for local food producers, businesses, animals and the earth. We currently work with over 40 local farmers and food producers and welcome inquiries from new potential partners.

Long Table offers a range of essential grocery items and prioritizes locally-grown, organic and fair trade products. In partnership with local food businesses, we are proud to offer bi-weekly grocery deliveries of a wide range of products to locations within the Quesnel area as well as a fresh food market and no-waste cafe on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-6.

Our Harvest Boxes are a convenient way to access fresh, mostly organic and local (in-season of course) produce. By subscribing to a box you are helping grow the local food system as it enables us to commit to purchasing more local crops. Farmers benefit immensely from knowing ahead of time what the demand will be for their products, and you benefit from receiving a consistent and diverse supply of local produce when in season. When we are unable to source local produce the Harvest Boxes contain ethically sourced organic produce from the Pacific Coast. Boxes are available year round, come in a range of sizes and you can change, pause or cancel your subscription at any time. Click here to learn more.
